Cheap 14s are very good value. Although not as robust, they would be a lot more responsive, have better class racing and maybe a bit faster. Plus for the price of a 5k you could get a 14 with carbon masts etc!
Cheers, Alex |

Adam you will be fine with the sheet loads the kites arnt that big! not even mast head, 5k is good intro into skiff sailing, and you will soon build up your muccels pulling the thing up and down the dinghy park.

Think you've misunderstood my harmless humour too!!!! Best away from humourous remarks about lady drivers and back on thread with 5000s methinks. |

The first time I took out my L5000 in a blow, I discovered quite how heavy the loads on the main-sheet can be, that was until I realised I had threaded the sheet through the racket the wrong way !!!! Still, when sailing off the wind, it takes some getting used holding/playing the sheet, and holding the till (as well as all the extra sheet) in the one hand when trapeezing and keep an eye on where we're going, the crew etc... lady-driver - may be a good idea - women naturally mult-task a lot better than blokes I believe!

It's not exactly a pocket hankey
- I don't think so... think you've misunderstood some harmless humour.
